CHAMBER MUSIC

WOMEN MUSICIANS' RECITAL Tlio intimate appeal of chamber music is not always for the concert platform, and some of flic personality of a string quartet is often lost when the music conics via the radio set, but

at such a society,as the Women Musi- | dans, chamber music is heard in an I ideal atmosphere. On Monday last the members of this society heard a programme devoted entirely to this form of music, and Miss Mary Martin, in moving a vote of thanks to the performers, expressed, the general opinion when she described the evening as an hour of enchantment far removed from the terrible thoughts which beset our waking hours. This was the highest manifestation of music, she said, and

the sincerity and genuine co-operation of the players, had made the evening a memorable one. The programme was as follows; — Brahms Trio, op. 101, Violin, ’Cello, and Piano: Piano, Olivo Campbell; violin, Rees M’Conachy; ’cello, Alec Blyth; three movements from a suite of sonatas by Bach (the accompaniments arranged by Schumann). Rees M'Conachy and Olivo Campbell; Rubinstein Sonata for ’Cello and Piano, Alec Blyth and Marion Jeffery; Trio by

Frank Bridge for Violin, ’Cello, and Piano, Olive Campbell, Rees M'Conachy, Alec Blyth.
